Terence_001 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Hello, Any Nikon Z5 users use Affinity photo for editing raw files? I try to use Affinity Photo (version 1.9) to open NEF file for Nikon Z5, however, the color tune is very strange which is not the same as Capture NX-D. Anyone can help to solve the problem? Thanks!

shoofly Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I have the same problem. The saturation and contrast of the colours is very low. My OS is Catalina and that does not support the Z5 raw files. I use Adobe Bridge as file manager. That shows the colours of the Z5 raw file correctly. For the time being, when I edit a Z5 raw file, I turn on the saturation and vibrance to 50% to get the colours back. In most of the cases they resemble the original ones, so that works for me. I then play around with the other settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted February 25, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 25, 2021 @Terence_001 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums Our list of currently supported cameras in the Affinity Range is kept here, and the Nikon Z5 is not among them, sorry. We have recently implemented LibRaw 0.20 and your camera (recently added in the LibRaw 2021 snapshot) should be added in a future update. We do not have a timeline on this as we tend to change RAW support when it can get a long beta testing cycle.

Terence_001 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hello Patrick, Thanks for your reply. I'm looking forward for the new software updates to support the RAW format of Nikon Z5 camera. Best regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Clark Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I just purchased a new Nikon Z5 and like the others I find the NEF files in Affinity Photo 1.91 are washed out and I'm unable to process them properly. Please update your program (which is excellent by the way) to handle Nikon Z5 Raw NEF files ASAP. At present my new camera is a big disappointment because I can't shoot in RAW.

Wegus1966 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Indeed the colors do not match ( on a Mac using OS Big Sur). When i load a NEF directly it is pale, washed out. When i use Nikon Capture the images are much brighter. Calling Affinity Photo from within Capture will lead to better results. I also tried Darktable and it leads to better results (inbetween of Capute and Affinity Photo). I would love to be able to work without NX on a Mac. Would that be possible?
